Will FreeBSD be available in California in 2027?

The really daft and scary part was the idea that programmers can be fined if they write code that fails to query the user's age from the operating system and then take account of that age. I guess it might make sense in something like a commercially provided browser, but that would be nonsensical for most types of software. Again, it seems unenforcable in open source. How might it be applied in programs like 'fetch', 'curl' or 'wget', for example.
 
As I wrote above, IMO this is not a problem. Because the fine is "per affected child". If your program is console calculator without age check, try to explain how and when a child can see adult content using it.
